Gu Mengmeng wrapped herself around Elvis’ waist, then felt something warm touch her arm. Her eyes watery, Gu Mengmeng said in a sobbing tone, “You are hurt, you are hurt…”
Elvis tightly hugged Gu Mengmeng, who was trying to break free from his embrace, using so much force that he was shaking uncontrollably. After a long time, he then used a voice that sounded like hot sand grinding against metal and said, “Don’t leave me.”
Gu Mengmeng could not struggle her way out, and was so anxious that she kept on crying, stomping her foot wanting to punch Elvis but was afraid to hurt his wound. So she waved her hand around, “Are you an idiot? I’m already yours, where else could I go? Quickly let me go and let me see to your wound.”
Elvis froze, carefully supporting Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder while looking into her eyes, asking, “Just now… did you see me kill that stray beast?”
“That?” Gu Mengmeng was too focused on wanting to see the injury on Elvis’ back, but Elvis refused to let go, causing Gu Mengmeng to jump around anxiously, “I saw it I saw it, I saw all three of that.”
“You… weren’t afraid?” Elvis’ expression was as though he was treading on thin ice, full of uncertainty in his mystical blue eyes.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis as if he was an idiot, “If you didn’t kill them, they would have killed us. I’m not a damn Xuanzang, I don’t have a hobby for helping monsters improve the quality of their sources of food.”
“You didn’t think… I was cruel?” Elvis felt surprised about Gu Mengmeng’s answer. He clearly remembered the day of her coming to age ceremony, she was crying when she saw others wounded and bleeding when Elvis was guarding the tower. He knew, she did not fancy violence, killing or blood.
But she had just witnessed that violent and bloody scene.
The moment he met eyes with her through that tiny hole, his heart clenched and it was as if he could see Gu Mengmeng with a face of despite and disgust. He even felt like she could have left him because of that.
Yet, she said…
“If you don’t let me check on the damned wound, do you believe that I would be more cruel that you?!” Gu Mengmeng hardened her heart, stepping on the back of Elvis’ foot and twisted her heel, “Let me tell you, once I get angry, even I am afraid of myself. Quickly let go of me, I want to check on your wound.”
Gu Mengmeng had such little strength, it did not feel like anything to Elvis.
But, his heart was so warm.
Boom… boom…
The heartbeat resuscitated from his left chest, making Elvis feel like the blood that had solidified in his body was finally flowing again. Carrying Gu Mengmeng back in his arms, he breathed deeply, “Thank you, Xiaomeng! Thank you…”
The moment he finished speaking, Elvis’ body went weak as he slid down from Gu Mengmeng’s body.
Gu Mengmeng wanted to catch Elvis, but she did not have sufficient strength. She could only cause him to fall slowly, preventing a second injury.
“Elvis? Elvis what happened to you? Don’t scare me…” Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’ face, only to see that he had no response.
What to do? What to do?!
Gu Mengmeng was so anxious she frantically walked around in circles. Back then, she shouldn’t have gone to learn the damned “Human Resource Management”, she should have gone to the damned nursing school to learn medic skills!
The wind flowing in the cave suddenly decreased in intensity. Gu Mengmeng subconsciously looked towards the entrance only to see a familiar face standing there, waving his big fluffy tail back and forth, sweeping the snow outside the entrance somewhere else. With a smiling expression, looking like a fairy, standing against the light blocking the entrance, asking, “Do you… need any help?”
